Ivan
Ivan is often sleeping on a cat tree when folks come to visit the Amarillo SPCA. He is not overly interactive and folks often pass him by. Ivan may not be for everyone because he probably won’t follow you around or jump on your lap for attention. But he’s a really cool fellow! Minds his own business, has good manners, uses his box, isn’t picky about food and enjoys napping. He doesn’t want a lot of petting and brushing, but a little bit is welcome and sometimes he will come to you for a few pets as well. If you are interested in an independent cat--read on!
Description: Brown/grey/black coloring, short-haired Tabby cat. Large framed.
Age: approx 6 years of age.
Likes: Napping, Investigating, Looking out the window
Needs: May need a quiet home with no small children. He currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, he may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
PET SPOTLIGHT
Biggie
Biggie is an orange male kitty approx. 10 months old. His short haired coat has darker orange stripes and is fluffy and soft. He has some pretty white highlights around his eyes, chin and neck. He is larger in size than his brother, Smoothie and not as shy. He is quiet, sweet and a bit cautious of people right now in his new environment, but he loves petting, catnip and lazer lights. We suggest a quiet home with older children. (approx DOB 11/6/2022)
Blossom
Blossom is a beautiful black and tan tabby with some cream markings along her face and neck. She is approx. 5 years old and is quite a large gal, which just means more to love! Blossom is a super sweet cat who likes attention and any petting & brushing is enjoyed. She is also quite fond of catnip! Blossom is a laid back cat and likes a good nap and some time to herself. She may be best suited for a quiet home without young kids. She is a loving, house trained, indoor cat that is now ready for her next adventure...finding her forever home. (approx DOB 2/6/18)
Bonzo
Bonzo is male manx kitty in colors of white, tan and black. He is very affectionate, is front declaw, likes to be petted and can chatter a bit to get your attention. This handsome fellow is about 12 years old, but young at heart. He came to us to find a new loving forever home after his mom passed and his dad became ill. He likes attention, enjoys a good meal, is friendly and lived with another cat. He’s getting used to our busy cat building but would surely love a quiet forever retirement home of his own. (approx. dob 9/2011)
Breezy
Breezy is an orange female kitten approx. 3 ½ months old. Born roughly June 11, 2023, Breezy and her sister Emma, are unusually colored “red dilute” tabby kittens. Breezy’s silky coat is a bit lighter in color than Emma’s and has shorter hair. “Red” (orange or ginger) female cats are only 1 in every 20 of that color, so two in a litter are rare. Dilute means they’re both much lighter than most similarly colored kittens, another rarity. They were found with their orange tabby mother under a house and taken into foster care until they were big enough to find forever homes. Breezy is a very sweet-natured, active kitten and likes to get her running around and play time done before curling up to cuddle. Breezy will eat about anything provided, wet or dry. Her favorite treat is Greek yogurt and she likes to chase crinkly balls, wand toys and wide ribbon.
